Arteastiq Tea Lounge

I've been wanting to go to Arteastiq for the longest time. Having heard of their unique teas and creations, I was eager to visit this place. I went to Arteastiq with The Star and another friend. When I walked in, I was greeted with colourful furniture next to the big windows. I like sitting near windows, and I like looking out of them haha. We were there at around 2pm and it wasn't that crowded so it was quite a nice place to just chill with the both of them.

The Art of Teasing

We ordered 3 of their set meals to share.

Viva La Fiesta Quesadilla.

I felt that this was the most delicious out of all three

Tuscan Crispy Brioche Panini Turkey

Season of Love Crispy Aromatic Focassia Caprese

Pear Tea

The Star said that the piece of wanton look-alike thing has red bean paste inside and is really tasty

Bitter Chocolate Cointreau Gelato

Mao Shan Wang Gelato

The gelato is good but the servings are really pathetic.

The servings are all really small, and there's no way one will feel full after having one of their set meals. Especially when you're there with two big-eaters haha. The Star couldn't stop complaining about how small the servings were. Haha typical Singaporean. I guess the servings will be more ideal for high-tea instead of lunch/dinner. So maybe they should call it a high-tea set instead of a deluding set meal. Their teas are unique and are brewed individually and I guess that is one of their plus points. I'm not a fan of such fruit teas but I quite liked their pear tea. Maybe because I could add as much sugar syrup as I want to make it a cuppa very sweet pear tea. Haha. I like the place but I guess not so much of the food. The gelato was pretty good but the serving was really tiny. I don't think I'll return to this place anytime soon. I guess if you wanna try their fruit teas, you can take one of their set meals which are currently on promotion and if you have a standard chartered bank card, that makes it slightly more worth it to dine there. But if you're looking for a hearty meal to fill your tummy round and full, this is definitely not the place for you unless you don't mind spending at least $30.
